A New Way to Earn More Value for Gaming
For the gaming community, loyalty and rewards are now more rewarding than ever before. The gaming industry has seen many loyalty programs, but this latest offering from Xbox, in collaboration with Barclays US Consumer Bank, is setting new standards. Microsoft Xbox announced today via their news blog the latest credit card offering.
The Xbox Mastercard offers a unique proposition for gamers and non-gamers alike, with a range of benefits that extend beyond the gaming platform.
